🇫🇷 Français: (English below)
Tokyo, Boston, Londres, Berlin, Chicago, New York : courir ces six marathons, dits Marathons Majeurs, c'est le rêve de tout coureur dans une vie. Le faire en une seule année civile semble complètement fou. C'est pourtant le défi que je me suis lancé pour 2025, avec l'entrée probable d'une septième course dans la danse : Sydney. Ce challenge sportif s'accompagnera d'une levée de fonds pour quatre associations.
- VHL Alliance : la mission de cette association est d'améliorer la qualité de vie des patients et des familles touchés par la maladie de Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) grâce au développement d'une communauté inclusive, à des liens avec d'excellentes options d'éducation et de traitement et aux progrès de la recherche médicale. Pourquoi cette association ? J’ai été diagnostiqué du VHL quand j’étais enfant. Ma sœur et moi l'avons eu de par ma mère. Depuis, je dois faire face à des examens annuels des reins, des yeux, de la moelle épinière, du cerveau et des testicules. Nous avons tous les trois subi plusieurs interventions chirurgicales invasives. J'espère que VHL Alliance pourra trouver des traitements qui aideront à réduire les tumeurs lorsqu'elles apparaissent, en évitant les grosses interventions chirurgicales et ainsi nous faciliter la vie.
- Action Protection Animale : cette association mène plusieurs combats simultanément avec pour seul objectif d'améliorer le bien-être des animaux, de tous les animaux. Pourquoi cette association ? Je considère mon chat Lilly et mon chien Mighty comme des membres de ma famille. Et je ne supporte pas la cruauté envers les animaux. Action Protection Animale oeuvre pour aider les animaux et poursuivre les propriétaires abusifs. Ils ont besoin de dons pour le transport, l'équipement, les soins vétérinaires, l'hébergement des animaux, la justice, etc.
- Rainbow Railroad : cette organisation mondiale à but non lucratif aide les personnes LGTBQI+ à risque à être en sécurité dans le monde entier. Pourquoi cette association ? En tant qu'homosexuel, faire mon coming out auprès de ma famille et de mes amis a été difficile, mais j'ai reçu tout le soutien et l'amour que je méritais. Tout le monde n’a pas cette chance. C’est pourquoi il est important pour moi d’aider les personnes LGBTQI+ à risque à trouver la sécurité grâce à une réinstallation d’urgence, une réponse aux crises, une aide en espèces et d’autres formes d’assistance.
- The Ocean Cleanup : cette association développe et met à l’échelle des technologies pour débarrasser les océans du plastique. Pourquoi cette association ? Je suis un amoureux de la mer et de l'océan. Les voir détruits et pollués par tout ce plastique me touche beaucoup, d’autant que tous ces microplastiques peuvent se retrouver dans nos aliments et détériorer notre santé. Je crois sincèrement que faire un don à une association dédiée au nettoyage des océans est un investissement vital pour l'avenir de notre planète.

Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York: running these six marathons, known as Major Marathons, is every runner's lifelong dream. Doing it in a single calendar year seems crazy. However, this is the challenge that I have set for 2025, with the probable entry of a seventh race into the dance: Sydney. This running challenge will be accompanied by fundraising for four associations.
- VHL Alliance: The mission of this association is to improve the quality of life of patients and families affected by Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) with inclusive community building, connections to excellent education and treatment options, and advancements in medical research. Why this association? I’ve been diagnosed with VHL when I was a kid. My sister and myself got it from my mother. Since then, I had to deal with annual checkups on kidneys, eyes, spinal cord, brain and testicles. The three of us have had several invasive surgeries. I have hope that VHL Alliance can find treatments that will help reducing the tumors when they appear, avoiding the big surgeries and making our life easier.
- Action Protection Animale: this association leads several battles simultaneously with the sole objective of improving the well-being of animals, of all animals. Why this association? I’m a pet owner. I really consider my cat Lilly and my dog Mighty as members of my family. And I can't stand animal cruelty. Action Protection Animale works to help animals and prosecute abusive owners. They need donations for transportation, equipment, veterinary care, animal housing, justice, etc.
- Rainbow Railroad: This is a global not-for-profit organization that helps at-risk LGTBQI+ people get to safety worldwide. Why this association? As a gay man, coming out to family and friends was difficult, but I received all the support and love I deserved. Not everyone is so lucky. That’s why it’s important to me to help at-risk LGBTQI+ people find safety through emergency relocation, crisis response, cash assistance, and other assistance.
- The Ocean Cleanup: this association develops and scales technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. Why this association? I am a lover of the sea and the ocean. Seeing them destroyed and polluted by all this plastic makes me sad, especially since all these microplastics can end up in our food and deteriorate our health. I sincerely believe that donating to an association dedicated to cleaning the oceans is a vital investment in the future of our planet.
